And the Oscar goes to…Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin! Well, for the hosting gig anyways. The pair has been selected to co-host this year’s Academy Awards. Martin, 64, has previously hosted the 73rd and 75th award show. Baldwin, 51, was nominated in 2003 for supporting actor in The Cooler. Both men have hosted Saturday Night Live. Usmagazine released this statement from show producers Adam Shankman and Bill Mechanic, “Steve will bring the experience of having hosted the show in the past and Alec will be a completely fresh personality for this event.” The 82nd Academy Awards will air on Sunday, March 7th, on ABC.
